@Versa, do you currently have a betta? What size tank is he in?

I ended up only with a few moss balls because my betta that I tried live plants with had serious beef with these inanimate objects lol

Live plants are an insane amount of work, but sooo worth it. Also, if you like houseplants like pothos/monstera they can be grown above the water column! Their roots LOVE the fish water.

Bro, mine would flare and go bonkers through his entire tank every time it turned off! It was hilarious. But I had to have it off sometimes to clean up the tank lol

@Versa, I have heard bettas typically only live 2 years. =/

Hahaha Versa! Nalo was the opposite! He didn't like his bubbler, so it got turned off. He has to put up with the sponge filter bubbles, though, which is probably why he hangs out at the HOB filter!

My oldest betta lived almost until 8 years, it was wild. Named him Paarthurnax because he just, seemed eternal lol

I did silk plants in mine with driftwood

Live plants are wonderful for bettas. If not live, silk is also good. Just never hard plastic, they tend to tear their flowy fins on them

I miss having fish. I had two male bettas (seperate tanks obviously). One had tetra friends and the other had guppy friends. I also had snails in there. Their tanks were huge. I miss them <3

I was planning on a sponge filter. I am not turned off by water changes once a week. I am mostly just deciding if I should do live plants IF I get a betta.
Versailles
09:55:12 Versa
I also got a bubbler which he went absolutely ballistic about every time I turned it off. If it wasn't on, he was so mad lol

I have a betta with snails in a 20 gallon. It stays pretty clean
Versailles
09:53:34 Versa
I would've done live plants but my betta kept attacking and breaking them every chance he got. So I did silk. And then resorted to a sponge filter because the water flow was too much for him lol
Hummingbird Meadows
09:53:33 Bird
@Charm, lol that is different!
Backwood Barns
09:52:09 Charm's Wubs
I do keep a HOB (hang on back) filter in my betta tank, as well as a sponge filter. However, I have a metric shit-ton of live plants that break up the water flow. And my betta seems to defy all the rules and actually likes hanging out near the outflow of the filter *glares lightly at Nalo* he also made friends with two female guppy fry I tossed in for him to snack on, so now he has friends, which I never figured would happen.

Get a new ferrier. The guy you're using doesn't give a rat's ass about your horse's hooves. The left rear is looking like it's starting to deform a bit as well. The chips and cracks aren't normal if the hoofs are being trimmed well.

Coming from family that consists of farriers my mom my dad and my grandparents along with owning a farreir supply store I would say Its hard to tell wether your farrier is doing his job or not. For two weeks those feet are long however the amount of heel he has is partailly due to the fact that he seems a little club footed which is not a probem and is handled all the time. since he is high on his heel he is ultimalty going to be putting more weight on his toe therefore trimming the toe more is going to lead to a sore horse which is not what you need or want. thererore he is leaving it long to prevent such a thing, the length will cause the chipping which is honestly a totaly natural thing as long as there are no cracks that are begining to get large and reach all the way up the hoof. even in the pictures you can see he is wearing down his toe end quite quickly. often with the frog I find as long as it is growing straight there is not need to trim it Once it start to grow crooked or wonky your farrier needs to correct it to ensure you horses hoof does not try and correct that itself and become deformed. I would definitly watch for white line, and in the end If your not happy with the trimming honestly change farreirs, I find going to a freinds place when they are getting their horses trimmed and getting a different farriers opinion helps open up your veiws and guidlines for what to expect. then simply telling him, farreirs are used to it, and he might even reccomend someone else if you ask.

Really looks like you need different farrier. Ask for references, or ask stables/trainers in your area and find out who they use. Also, I would suggest watching hoof-trimming videos. Becoming familiarized with what good farrier work looks like can help you with farrier choices in the future. I enjoy watching Olsen Equine CJF, Idaho Horseshoeing School, and Caleb Erickson 3 crosses Farrier Co. on Youtube.
